Configuring access control for SNMP clients
Enable the SNMP agent and configure access control for SNMP clients. Enter either a specific IP
address and the IP Netmask as None to allow a specific host to access SNMP, or specify the
Network Address with its netmask value so that all hosts matching that IP and netmask combination
can access SNMP.
NOTE: Use the CMC ping feature to verify IP addresses while configuring access control. See
“Pinging an IP address” (page 54).
Adding an SNMP client
1. In the navigation window, log in to the management group.
2. In the tree, select Events→SNMP.
3. Click SNMP Tasks, and select Edit SNMP General Settings.
4. In the Access Control section, click Add to add an SNMP client that to use for viewing SNMP.
Add SNMP clients by specifying either IP addresses or host names.
For HP remote support, add the CMS for HP Insight Remote Support.
5. Do one of the following:
• Select By Address and enter the IP address, then select an IP Netmask from the list. Select
Single Host if adding only one SNMP client.
• Select By Name and enter a host name.

DNS for the client to be recognized by the host name.
